A beautiful, independent Theroni, Rory Raimey knows that her attempts to be a warrior are futile - unless she can stop the demonic visions that torment her. Determined to be free, Rory sets out to find the mysterious guardian who can cure her before she loses her sight - or her life. But Rory's journey brings its own dangers when she is attacked by a pack of Syenstryn sent by the demon lord Raygh. Cornered and desperate, Rory narrowly escapes with the help of a sword welding stranger. Cain knows that Rory needs his protection to survive, just as he knows that her power is compatible with his own. And when Rory binds herself to Cain, the warrior will do anything to keep her safe from the threat of the demon lord who pursues her.
